We lost another comic retailer yesterday.  Lem Fasnact, the owner of Golden Eagle in Reading, Pennsylvania passed away yesterday according to this post from Bryan Deemer.  If you ever listened to an episode of Comic Geek Speak, you could hear the Geek’s talking very fondly of Lem.  In fact, if you talk to anyone who [...]

If Buffy was still a television show, this book would be an unofficial pilot for a Faith spinoff show. And based off of this book, I’d really love to see that Faith series. With hundreds, if not thousands, of Slayers existing around the world, it makes sense that not all of them would [...]

Yeah, this could be a big week.

Hellboy Vol 8 Darkness Calls TP– I’ve got the individual issues but I’m really looking forward to getting this and finally reading the whole thing. Probably like most people, I was hesitant about a Hellboy book not drawn by Mignola but Duncan Fegredo was an excellent choice to [...]

There’s something unreal about Jamie McKelvie’s artwork. Beginning with last year’s Phonogram, McKelvie’s comics have this near perfect feeling of some other imaginary world. His solid line drawings and knack for just a certain amount of detail create a realistic image but it’s not quite of the real world. There’s an emptiness [...]

This month’s order was very hard to put together. There are a lot of great books coming out and I had to drop a lot of stuff from my order. For instance, though I highly recommend it, I dropped my standing order from 4 years ago for the American Flagg! hardcover. While [...]

Captain Britain is one of those characters to me who belongs to one creator; Alan Davis.  But, if you can’t have Davis drawing Cap, Leonard Kirk is a strong choice to fill in those shoes.  Kirk has been a favorite of mine since his JSA run and I still long for the day that he [...]

Musing about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull earlier, I wondered if I was going to get another Raiders of the Lost Arc, a movie I love, or a Last Crusade, one I merely enjoy. Well, I guess the answer is that I’m going to prefer to remember the Indiana Jones [...]

I’m going to cheat a bit this week. When I first started this little year-long project, my initial plan was to watch 52 movies and then write about them. But before Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull comes out, I wanted to write a bit about the first three movies, [...]

Have you ever gotten the feeling that you’ve read the perfect comic, devoured the perfect novel or watched the perfect movie? That after you were done taking it in, you never needed to see another comic, book or movie ever again or, at least, it was so good that it made you re-evaluate what [...]

I was shocked to see the info that Rory Root was hospitalized and in a coma like most. I’ve never been to Comix Experience Comic Relief but it was a shop that I always hoped (and still do) to hit one day. Whenever I found a forum post by Rory or a blog [...]

“Boy, you been a naughty girl and you let your knickers down.” Before we get into talking about the book, maybe we should talk about the book’s audience.  With this latest issue, the conclusion of the second story arc, you can check around the net for reactions and find everything from “it may be the [...]
